1Hezekiah manghai te kum hlai li a lo vaengah Assyria manghai Sennacherib loh a paan. Te vaengah Judah khopuei cakrhuet te boeih a muk tih a tuuk.
1And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, that Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against all the fenced cities of Juda, and took them.
2Te phoeiah Assyria manghai loh khotawt Rabshakeh te Lakhish lamloh Jerusalem kah manghai Hezekiah taengah tatthai neh duel a tueih pah. Te vaengah hno suk lo long kah a so tuibuem, tuilong ah pai.
2And the king of the Assyrians sent Rabsaces from Lachis to Jerusalem, to king Ezechias with a great army, and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fuller’s held.
3Te dongah im khoem Hilkiah capa Eliakim tah cadaek Shebna, hnokhoem Asaph capa Joah neh anih taengla pawk.
3And there went out to him Eliacim the son of Helcias, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.
4Te vaengah amih te khotawt Rabshakeh loh, “Hezekiah te, 'Manghai aw, Assyria kah manghai len loh, 'Uepangnah la banim na pangtung thil te?
4And Rabsaces said to them: Tell Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence wherein thou trustest?
5Hmuilai lamkah olka mailai khaw caemtloek ham cilsuep neh thayung thamal ni ka ti. Kai he tloelh hamla unim na pangtung thil coeng.
5Or with what counsel or strength dost thou prepare for war? on whom dost thou trust, that thou art revolted from me?
6Capu conghol a paep tangtae la na pangtung thil dae te. Te Egypt soah aka hangdang hlang tah a kut a hun tih a toeh. Egypt manghai Pharaoh aka pangtung thil boeih tah te tlam pawn ni.
6Lo thou trustest upon this broken staff of a reed, upon Egypt: upon which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharao king or Egypt to all that trust in him.
7Kai taengah, 'BOEIPA ka Pathen dongah ni ka pangtung uh,’ na ti cakhaw Hezekiah loh a hmuensang neh a hmueihtuk a palet pah te anih moenih a? Judah neh Jerusalem taengah, 'Hmueihtuk hmai ah he bakop uh,’ a ti dae ta.
7But if thou wilt answer me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away, and hath said to Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar?
8Te dongah ka boeipa te, Assyria manghai toengah rhikhang laeh. Nang te marhang a thawng thawng la kam pae eh. Nang te paek ham ni na coeng thai atah te rhoek te ngol thil.
8And now deliver thyself up to my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give thee two thousand horses, and thou wilt not be able on thy part to find riders for them.
9Ka boeipa kah sal khuikah rhalboei pakhat kah maelhmai te metlam na mael tak eh. Tetca khaw leng ham neh marhang caem ham Egypt na pangtung thil mai.
9And how wilt thou stand against the face of the judge of one place, of the least of my master’s servants? But if thou trust in Egypt, in chariots and in horsemen:
10BOEIPA mueh lam a khohmuen he phae ham ka caeh? BOEIPA loh kamah taengah, 'Khohmuen ke caeh thil lamtah phae laeh,’ a ti ta,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
10And am I now come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it? The Lord said to me: Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11Te vaengah Eliakim, Shebna, Joah loh khotawt Rabshakeh te, “Na sal rhoek ham he Aramaih la thui mai. Ka yakming coeng dongah kaimih taengah Judah ol la thui boel mai. Vongtung sokah pilnam a hna laat lah ve,” a ti nah.
11And Eliacim, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: Speak to thy servants in the Syrian tongue: for we understand it: speak not to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people, that are upon the wall.
12Tedae khotawt Rabshakeh loh, “He olka thui ham a ka boei loh na boei rhoek neh nangmih taengah kai n'tueih? Vongtung soah aka ngol hlang ham neh amih kah a khawt aka ca ham, amih kah yuntui aka mam, a kho tui nangmih bang ham moenih a?
12And Rabsaces said to them: Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee, to speak all these words; and not rather to the men that sit on the wall; that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine with you?
13Te phoeiah khotawt Rabshakeh pai tih Judah ol neh a len la pang. Te vaengah, “Manghai len Assyria manghai ol he hnatun uh lah.
13Then Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
14Manghai loh, 'Nangmih te Hezekiah loh n'rhaithi boel saeh, nangmih huul hamla a coeng moenih.
14Thus saith the king: Let not Ezechias deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you.
15Hezekiah te na pangtung uh mahpawh. BOEIPA ming neh, 'BOEIPA loh mamih n'huul rhoe n'huul ni, khopuei he Assyria manghai kut ah pha mahpawh,’ a ti te.
15And let not Ezechias make you trust in the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
16Hezekiah ol te hnatun uh boeh. Te dongah ni Assyria manghai loh, 'Kamah neh yoethennah saii sih. Kai taengah ha mop uh lamtah a misur neh a thaibu khaw rhip ca uh. A tuito tui khaw rhip o uh.
16Do not hearken to Ezechias: for thus said the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, and come out to me, and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the water of his cistern,
17Kamah ka pawk vetih nangmih te namamih kah khohmuen bang cangpai hmuen, buh neh misur khohmuen kah misur thai kho la kan loh hlan ah,’ a ti.
17Till I come and take you away to a land, like to your own, a land of corn and of wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18“BOEIPA loh mamih n'huul bitni,” a ti mai neh Hezekiah loh nangmih m'vuet ve. Namtom pathen pakhat long khaw a khohmuen te Assyria manghai kut lamloh a huul noek a?
18Neither let Ezechias trouble you, saying: The Lord will deliver us. Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
19Khamath neh Arpad pathen te ta? Sepharvaim pathen ta? Samaria te ka kut lamloh a huul noek a?
19Where is the god of Emath and of Arphad? where is the god of Sepharvaim? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20He diklai pathen boeih soah aka om te unim? Ka kut dong lamloh a khohmuen aka huul te unim? Jerusalem te Yahovah loh ka kut lamkah a huul tang aya te?” a ti,” a ti nah.
20Who is there among all the gods of these lands, that hath delivered his country out of my hand, that the Lord may deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21Tedae hil a phah uh tih anih te ol kamat khaw doo uh pawh. Te vaengah, “Manghai kah olpaek dongah he anih doo uh boeh,” a ti nah.
21And they held their peace, and answered him not a word. For the king had commanded, saying: answer him not.
22Te phoeiah imkhui kah Hilkiah capa Eliakim, cadaek Shebna, hnokhoem Asaph capa Joah tah himbai aka phen Hezekiah taengla ha pawk tih khotawt Rabshakeh ol te a taegah a puen pa uh.
22And Eliacim the son of Helcias, that was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder, went in to Ezechias with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rabsaces.
